Ilmlfitnore Eieellon Riot-.,
llieorder which generally ciiaractcrWl th* polls
in tl.* curlier hours of yesterday wa* not maintain
cd throughout the day. individual combuU and
minor affrays occurred during the afternoon at a
umaber <.f the polk and at two, the twelfth ai*d
eightocuUi, serious riots, leading to los** ol lib and
rieriou-i injuries, resulted from the high state of ex
ciU'ment originated between th** aforesaid « ontest
ingiiartics.
TJjf, most 'riou** riot was enacted in and around
the Le dngton market houw*. Itcommenced about
three o'clock and continued for alrout two hours.
The partie- c.igaged in the disturbance were mem-
New Market Eire Company, and the
‘Kip Rape” and other political clur>H. The affair
commofcced et the twelfth waid polls, about too
middle of the day, when an effort was made by the
Democrats to take possession. After they had been
repuls* •!, the nggreasors n treated to the engine
bouse, an ai med Uremselves w ith musket.s asd r«e
volvors; tiiey then took their poeitiona in the market
house, and began u heavy discharge of musketry
directed towards the polls. The firing attracted a
large crowd, among who were the ‘‘Rip Raps,’* from
tho fourteenth ward polls. Whan these persons had
congregated, a fierce attack was made upon them,
which continued for a long time without intermis
sion.
S'-vcrnl |M*ife;ns w ere killed, and a large number
ini tired. Among those killed was an Irishman,
wtioty* name could not bo ascertained, who was shot
in t! left r-n the comer of Paca and L x
im»t“ii strocts, w hilst stopring to pick up a brick.
The ball entered the left breast and passed down
wurds. A man by the name of Charles Brown was
clso killed whih‘tpea**x*ably walking along the street,
lie rt m d* din Chase street, and leaves r wife and
three children.
Among tin* wounded are Robert Konig, who v..n
sho* in the logs. A man named Cromer, also ahot in
the bigs; George Alinnk-k, a flesh wound in the
temple . Elijah Eee, shot In tho side, not considered
diUi;yrous . Fred. Konig, shot in the back, oonsid
cred tobe dangorottsly injured.
It was also rumored that two others by the names
of Spams end Morrit wore killed, but wo were
unable to learn definitely whether anch wag the fact.
The eombatauts fought with tlie greatest deter
mination, and from the free and desperate use they
i . adc of tire fire arms with which they wore prove
ded, it h. somewhat remarkable that a larger nnm
her were not killed. The New .Market party held
po*ue*Mion of the market, mid would rally from their
< ugin* hou«e otter J .>ading their piece.-*. Their op
ponents raiiitd in Green street, south of the market.
Hot i parties, thus prepared, would then carry on a
gu< r»Ca wartare, bring atone another from the cor*
n .ii of llie streets and from behind the Dillars of the
rr.atket, until their loads were exhausted, when they
w *uM rctri r.t to their rallying points to prepare for
soother sally*. All this was done with cool aelibera
ti jr., and on the part of som ? of combatants with
ea andaciou3 (y.urage which exhibited in a better
would havo merited praise. The stores and
dwellings in tho vicinity were all closed, and peace
abiy disposed people kemt out cf reach of danger, so
that, as fur as we can learn, with one exception,
none but those who were parties to the conflict,
w n* citLrr killed or wounded.
A desperate riot axo occurred in the vicinity ot
the Hth w ard. The foreign voters of the wai d took
p .ovvdon of the polls early in the day, and drove
off sM-vend old residents who were holding Swann
r.c’i‘*;r \Yo saw a hundred of them chiming with
chibs and bricks a man of slight make and small
stature, who escaped into a grocery store, on the
our rot Forrest and Hillen strrets. His offence
cousiwicd in holding Swann ticket*. Infoimation of
tids condition of affairs having been received at the
up town wards, a large party belonging to American
cft.b-1, atario«l over to that vicinitv. One part of
\.iom went along French street, and the other along
Hi < j Hticet; but they had scarcely reached the
vi ■ roly of tho eighth ward polls, when they* fund
Ihi UiMcuves hemmed in by hundreds of infuriated
opponerts, a large number of whom were armed
with muskets.
Both divisions of tire •‘Rip-Raps” wo u compelled
t*> retreat before the superior arms «»f their assail
ants, and finally come to a otand on Calvert street
i. - . nuiuent, where a severe light took place
whh • la-d for two hours, continuing up Monument
m eet to th« vicinity of tin* Washington Monment,
the tree l>oxis along the square being greatly cut
w !; bullets. The lrishmt n then took apositiou be
hind thctrec-M in the vacancy between Centre and
Monument street* and « brink firing wes kept up for
some time. One of tho eighth ward men named
Broderick was shot in the neck and mortally woun
ded. There was another of the same party shot in
to • jtroin, the hall passing out at the hip, producing
•• frightful, and it is thought, fatal wound. Another
was shot in the r-idc and several others were shot in
the* legs and body, but not dangerously*. One of
t .era was in the net of capping his gun when a ball
pio-sed tlirough his right hand.
Os the opposite party a number were shot though
non* seriously, except a young man named Cartel-,
who was lighting from the corner of tho fence of
Moiud Vernon square. Ho was first shot in the
breast and fell to the side walk, and while in tin* at
te_. pt to rai l ?. again to his fool a ball entered his

A ehild ol Mr. Geo. N. Eaton, while standing at

A ball missed through the front door of the !e»u o
of Mr. William Honey, in Waterloo Row, Cal
\ert street, and several other buildings received
mnik-s of tl:<‘ shots. Tho house at the corner of
( outre and Calvert streets, was pretty well pep
pered. The railing of the porch was pierced by
t.areo balls, nil v itiiin a .space of two inches square.
A ball passed through the window of a house in
tifucii at re* t. <»ast of North, and scratched the taco
of a child without, however, doing it any serious
harm.
Aft# i ('urt* v was shot, tJie up-town clubs fled and
the other party retired to North street , where they
ivrnaiuM in nnibush for an hour and then went up
t«> the poll*. I>uriug the conflict both parties fought
v. itu fpvdt determiiuition, and the wounding of one
oi their friends seemed only to have tho effect to in
ereßse their desperation. A few moments before
the fight ended, the eighth ward force were rein
forced by about fifty persons who were armed with
musket-.
It is impossible, in the confusion that prevailed
t;ist night, to obtain very’ accurate information in re
lation t-i the results of cither of those riots. It is not
probable that any* others were hided than those
enmnt rated above, but no doubt many were wound
ul of whom no account is given. Both pai ties cou
rt ale*l their losses as much as possible, and tho ef
fort to obtain intelligence was neither safe nor plea
sant.
There \vt ro also a number ot fights at the polls of
different wards, but nouo wo believe that were pro
ductive of mortal or serious injuries.
At the first ward polls n boisterous sort, of cider
was preserved, and oeynid some blacked eyes and
bruised faces no damage was done. The Ameri
cans maintained control throughout the dnv.
The second ward vas quiet in tho morning but
disorderly later iu the day. Tho Democrats had
-session of the polls throughout the day, and th©
immense increase of tho Democratic vote, whilst
large numbers of American votes were driven off,
shows the use they inado of it. A difficulty occur
». d after the closing of the polls in which a number
of were tired, bill nobody was seriously in
jured.
The third ward polls were the sc ue of considers
bio fighting throughout the day. Knives and pis
tols u ere frequently drawn, but not used to the se
rious damage c f anybody.
At the fourth ward, difficulties occurred early in
the d-\. growing out of attempts to put in illegal
vote*, tavern] Germane were severely beaten and
driven from the polls.
\t tho seventh there was aE-> considerable fighr
i. : , Mi. Alexander Gitfi>rd. the Democratic candi
dal' for the Firs? Branch had his head cut and was
uiiocd about the body. After the polls closed a
ghi occurred in which pistols were freely used and
several pem usehot, but we cou’.d not learn if any
were fatally hurt. A lad about eleven years old
.-i * i James E.’iott received a pistol ball in th©
heed, a: 1 was taken to the drug store of Dr. llee
!c-. ,n‘ the comer of Baltimore and Eden streets,
vuervit wes extracted. He was then removed to
I the MMdeuee of his parents in Muilikin street, near
Bon Ho i* not dangerously wounded.
The D* mocratH held complete possession of the
ci.;r:th ward polls throughout the day, and used
c\ a ext. lion to prevent their opponents from vo
ti; g. The result is even in a decrease of the Ameri
can vote and an immense increase in the Demo
c-id e, a large number being undoubtedly illegal.
Tl’.' veto i the largest bv 300 ever polled in the
Mdi'd, whilst at least two hundred Americans were
p c\ v vied from voting.
In the eighteenth ward there was considerable
died d 1 *i growing out of the immeiue number of vo
ters in the v am, and the limited time for voting.—
Each party struggled to make their way to the poUs,
but liio Americans being in superior strength gene
\ aly prevailed. The passage of the bill dividing the
v aid*, defeated by the recusant Democratic mem
bers of t he City Council, would have prevented
this difficulty.
The other wants w ere generally quiet.
The city was in au uproar until a late hour lest
night, but ro collisions. n> far as wc could learn, oc
currcd.
Cowarolv A .-A! I I.—About eight o'clock last
evening, a* au omnibus containing the reporters of
nro of the city papers, was returning from the first
ward pU’a with the returns of the election, a boy
on the -dep shouted for Swann, when r volley of

Th- fig-it csmi:i. .in:*-d at the twelfth ward polls,
the New Market rowdies attempting to drive the
Americans off and take possession of the polls.—
Tiiey were repulsed with considerable violence, and
driven down Kutaw street to their engine house,
when the voting was renewed. A few minutes af

with a volley of jnnsketJjalfa. one of which took ef

is to be hoped that it*like may never be witnessed
again. Among others wounded were the fallowing:
oik* mem, named Feaster, was carried into the office
of Dr. liftxfev, on Fayette street, between Eutaw
Mid Paca. He had a musket ball in the left thigh,
which was soon extracted.
One of the mer* brought to Mr. .Smith’s apothe

office corner of Baltimore and Eden street, where
Dr. Healey wa- prompt in relieving him as far as
possible.
A serious outbreak, in which fire-arms were freely
used, occurred among part es from the 20th ward
polls. A young man named Mettee, who resides in
McCulloch street, received a ball in his face just
und* r the right eye. The ball was extracted by
Dr. Prentiss, who does not consider the wound a
dangerous one. Dr. P., was also called iu a house
in Roi s street to see a man named Morgan, who
was shot in the temple, and lived but a few hours.
In the 19ih ward Mr. Henry Ur\ in received a

quarters on the day of the election.
Emit: .mint in the Ek-htii Ward. —There was
considerable excitement in the Northern part of
Old Town during the whole of yesterday and last
night. Largo parties, generally armed with mus
kets, were concentrated at dilTerent points, under
the impression that the American clubs from up
town designed visiting that part of the town to re
venge the outrages committed nt. the eighth ward
polls on Wednesday. There was no evidence of
any such purpose being entertained, and no collis
ion occurred. A large force of the police was con
centrated at (he Centre station last night, and May
or Kinks was in attendance, prepared to adopt the
most dfdenniued measures to prevent any renewal
of the disturbances. A number of the muskets with
which th««e parties are armed belong to the State -,
twenty-seven of them having been, as we are in
formed, removed from the nmtoiy of the Montgome
ry Guards. At one time last night, a party of thirty
men, all armed with muskets, and having with them
a small swivel, w ere drawn up in Eager street, near
tho York road.
We learn fiom the American of Saturday, that a
man was -hot by an officer on Friday, and killed.
The officer gave, himself up and was confined to
nwnii an investigation. On the same day, a man
riding in an omnibus, shot another crossing the
street, wounding hiui very severely in the thigh,
but it was thought not dangerously. The man who
fired jumped from the omnibus, and after attempt
ing to shoot another, wa.> arrested and sent to jail.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
Later from Mexico.
The Spanish mail steamship Mexico amved a t
Havana on the Ist inst. in five days from Vera Cruz
and Sisal. We find in the Havana papers the fol
lowing items of news
A paragraph in the Herald states that the Gov
ernment, in view of the situation of the treasury,
had convoked a meeting of the holders of drafts up
on the Vera Cruz Customhouse at the Treasury De
partment, and informed them that the payment of
these drafts would be for a time suspended, but that
a register of the sums accruing to the holders would
be kept, in order that they should be paid hereafter
so that the holders of the public debt should not suf
fer loss. The creditors beard the reasons for this
course set forth by the Minister, but gave no assent, pji
they are merely agents for others in the matter.
It is stated that this suspension of payment by the
Government is limited to the payment made through
the Vera Cruz Customhouse, and that within a
short time the Government will have large sums
at disposal, coming from the law of expropriation of
the church property.
The Stilo A/A states that notiling certain was
know uin regard to the Forbes and Baron case. On
one hand it was stated that the Government had re
jected the propositions of the British Legation,
while others stated that a delay of the discussion had
be* n arranged in order to allow the Minister of
State rime to examine the whole subject. A rumor
was current that a special agent would be sent to
Londou with all the documents proving the culpa -
b ;ity of Barron Borbts in the Tepic affair.
Tee 1 'ndienie, in noticing the closing of the
British Legation, says:
W e arc. assured that Mr. Lettson has closed the
I affairs of the British Embassy. This is a fine tri
umph. Within two months we expect to see the re
vcivc of the medallion.
The Progreso , of Vera Cruz. sa>s that rn one of
the last days of August a meeting of the British sub
ject-? resident in the city of Mexico took place, to
consider the present state of relations between Eng
land and Mexico, and that it was agreed to record a
protest against the evil consequences that might re
sult fioin a war between the two countries, and the
persons present disapproved highly of the demand*
of the British Minister.
In the same paper we find the following review of
the state of affairs :
Several incidents conspire to disturb the situation
o. .*flairs, and to perplex the course of an adminis
istration that up to the present time, seems directed
to the carrying out of the ideas of reform. The dif
ficulties With England, in relation to the Barren and
Forbes question ; the nullification of all the labels
of Congress for the purpose of adopting the Consti
tution promulgated in 1824 ; the enorts of the cler
gy against the law of expropriation and the seces
sion of Vidaurri.
Conspiracies and attempts against the Govern
ment seem to be rife on every side. On the night
of the 15th September, an attempt was made at the
Convent of San Francisco, in the City of Mexico,
to surprise the battalion stationed there, and to
seize its arms. The priests had admitted the con
spirators to the convent, but the attempt was frus
trated at the moment of its execution, by the colo
nel, who resisted the first rush, and ordered the sol
diers to fall in at once to their ranks. Thus, says
the writer, an attempt that might have inundated the
streets of the capital with blood, on the very day of
the anniversary of independence, was strangled in
its cradle. So great was the alarm, that the Presi
dent, the Governor of the city, and many officers of
the National Guard hasteded to the scene ou the
first shouts of the troops.
Two clergymen, three friars, six or seven civilians
and the oliicer of the guard, who, it is said, conniv
ed with the conspirators, were arrested; and forty
or fifty other persons, said to be thieves, were pro
cended against. In the course of the day the con
vents of San Augustin and Santo Domingo, were
searched by the government. The papers were not
allowed to speak much of the affair. Several ex
officers of the army were in the affair, among them
Baridon, an aid-de-camp of Haro, who, it is said,
was seriously wounded in the fray.
A conspiracy against the life of President Comon
tort is reported to have been discovered in Puebla
Capt. Pedro Lopez, an aid de-camp of Gen. Tin
oonis, had been denounced by' several suspected of
fleers that had been arrested, us being engaged in it,
and to have been selected as the person to assassi
nate the President. Lopez had the entire confi
dence of Gen. Traconis, the Governor of Puebla.—
He had been arrested.
In consequence of the refusal of the trial’s of El
Carmen, and the Third Order of San Francisco, in
Puebla, to pay the contingent assigned to them in
levying of the million of dollars upon the church in
that diocese, to pay the expenses of the Haro re
bellion. Gov. Traconis has decreed an immediate
sale of town and country property belonging to
those convents sufficient to cover the amount.
A large number of sales of church property have
been lately made in the capital under the law of ex
propriation, and it is stated that so great has been
the change in pu< lie opinion there in relation to the
stability of these transfers, tin t even those persons
who were formerly most fearful are now inspired
with a blind confidence.
The government has suppressed theSigloXlX,
5 and the Independiente newspapers, the most radi
cal defenders of the Democracy. No reasons for
' this measure are given in our Havana exchangee.
* Bishop Muuguia had caused to read after mußa,
t in the churches of the diocese of Guanajuato, his
, protest against tha Lerdo law, and sentence of
excommunication against its originators and de
fenders.
It is stated that ho was subsequently arrested and
r sent to the capital. Col. Dobiado. who had left
for Morelia, is said to have discovered all
lus intrigues.
1 Disturbances had taken place at Tuutoyuea, near
1 the boundary of the States of Vera Cruz and Ta
-1 maulipus. The Government troops attacked the
insurgents, and after a sharp conflict occupied the
e towm.
r Similar movements had taken place in the State
t ofChiayas. Juan Ortega pronounced against the
a Government, but he wus captured with a portion of
his band. It is stated that he procured his arms
* from the neighboring frontiers of Guatemala.
j Advices from Tamaulipas state that Gen. Vidaur
ri was preparing to march on Ciudad Victoria.
Zayos, notwithstanding his reported defeat was
j st ill at Linares, making preparations to co operate
r with Vidnurri.
(ion Garza had asked the merchants of the State
of Tamaulipas to loan him half a million of dollars,
but lie had not yet obtained it.
I A proclamation by the Governor of the State of
Sonora says that the revolution in that State is
confined to the towns of Uree, ilermosille and

of tht: loss of tho British mail steamshp Tay. This
ship left Vera Cruz on the afternoon of the 29th for
1 Tampico uml, as usual, laid her course so as to run
outside of Lobos Island, giving it a W’ide berth. A
j very strong current sw'ept her landward during the
night, and about daybreak of the 30th, she struck
on the reefe between Lobos Island and the main
laud. When the ship struck the Captain endeavor
’ td to lighten her, nud threw* overboard 500 flasks of
j quicksilver, which have been landed at Tampico.—
These it is supposed can be recovered.
The mails and passengers were sent on to Tam-
J pico in the ship’s launches, and reached there in
safety. Advices of the accident reached Tampico
’ through the fishermen of the coast, and the Mexican
schooner Iturbide left at once for the scene of tho
wreck. She took from the Tay the captain and five
1 or si.v persons that remained on board, and then took
' on board the rest of the crew, which had taken re
fuge on Lobos Island, audeonveyed them to Tam

[ We have received by this arrival the Matamoros
* Eiher&tadto the 13th September, and an extra of
the same paper published after the edition of the
13th had been printed.
From these papers we learn that the troops of
, Nuevo Leon that adhered to Gen. Vidaurri had been
I defeated at Matahuala, in an attempt to invade the
j the State of San Luis de Potosi.
The bands under command of Col. Marlin Zayas,
a partisan of Vidaurri, have also been defeated at
Villagrave, and another division of Vidaurri’s troops
amounting to 500 men, had been repulsed nt Pun
, t iagudo by Don Juan Zuazua, in an attack upon
. the tow’n of Mier.
The Extra Lib ora tad adds :—The select troops
with which Don Santiago Vidaurri wished to open
1 the campaign, have been destroyed t* the defend
ers of the Supreme Government. 'lbte ex general
, iu-chief of the army of the North will surely not tri

* : la will not continue to spill their blood to carry out
the caprices of one whose only aim is absolute do
minion on the frontier. This we hope from their
good sense, and convictions that peace and order
are the first necessity of the country.
We receive these accounts with some doubt from
their partisan character; but the affair at Puntiagu
do seems truthful. The details of the capitulation
are published. The troops of Nuevo Leon were to
retire w’ith their arms, on condition of not serving
against the Government ; the prisoners were to be

Mr. Toombs on fSquatier Sovereignly.
The Wilks Republican , of the 2Gth ult., gives a
synopsis of a sneech made by Senator Toombs, at
Washington, oariug tho late sitting of the Superior
Court, from which we extract the following:
•‘On Tuesday, while the Court was at dinner,
Ilou. R. Toombs addressed the people upon the
President ml election in a most powerful ana master
ly effort. «■**■* * His remarks upon what
is commonly called squatter sovereignty, we think
must have convinced every one who is not blind to
the light of reason, that a Southern man ought to be
the very last to oppose it. That veiy doctrine pre- |
vailed m regard to all the Territories prior to 1820. j
Up to that time no free State applied for admission, j
and it was for that reason that Abolitionists and
Freeaoilers labored to restrain it, and did put a
chick upon that very principle by the Missouri re
eti ietion. That was the reason that they now insist
on the restoration of that line and oppose squatter
sovereignty in Kansas, or the right of the people
there to regulate their own domestic institutions in
their own way, subject only to the Constitution of
the United States "and the organic law. Hence
every Southern man who opposes that principle or
wishes the line restored, but favors the abolition sen
timent.”
We apprehend that the Senator could hardly
have taken the broad ground, that up to 1820 “no
free State applied for admission," in tne face of the
historical facts that Ohio, a free State, was admitted
in 1802 Indiana, a free State, 1815; and Illinois, also
a free State, 1818. Our special object, however, in
quoting the above is to enquire, if “a Southern man
ought to be the very last to oppose" squatter sove
reignty, and if “every Southern man who opposes
that principle, favors the alolUion sentiment. ’ what
was the position of Mr. Toombs, as regards the
South when he denounced the same “principle” a
few years ago in his speech in the Senate on ihe
Nebraska bill ?
We perceive from the Macon Telegraph that Lin
ton Stephens. Esq., has also been discussing the
doctrine of squatter sovereignty, in that city, when
he took occasion to “strip the nair and hide* off the
animal and lurn it loose a mere scare crow." Now,
why squatter sovereignty was a real boogoboo with
these gentlemen for years, and indeed up to the
time Mr. Buchanan declared for it. and has sudden
ly become to them a “mere scare crow." passes our
comprehension.
By the way. we have a most curious spectacle in
the fact that while ill the Democratic Editors in
Georgia are protesting most loudly that Buchanan
does not hold co such a doctrine. Democratic orators j
throughout the State are tacitly conceding that j
he does, by defending the doctrine as beneficient I
and just to the South. How curious ’ —Saranunh ;

Fißt is Ti SKtGEr, Ala.—We regret to hear
of a very destructive fire at Tuskegee, Ala., which
broke our early yesterday morning. It commenced
just above Isabeil A Montgomery s brick store,op
posite the lower hotel, ana burnt the two squares
between the starting point and the Ma-x»n Republi
can office, opposite the Masonic Hail next to the
other hotel —some twenty-five buildings in all.—
The brick store (in which buflding is the office of
the South Western Baptist) was saved , but we re
gret to learn that the Republican office had to be
blown up to stop the progress of the flames, and
that a iaige portion of the type, furniture, <fcc.. re
moved into the street, took fire there and was con
sumed. The loss of our friend Sayre must be a
severe one. and particularly to be deplored just at
this time. The heaviest losers, we understand, are (
Messrs Gunn & Adams, merchants, at the comer
facing the Court-house on the east. Mr. Neil C.
Smith, whose extensive carriage shop and livery ,
stable were burnt, must also be a heavy loser.— \
There being no fire engine, and the buildings being
so very dry and combustible, with a breeze fanning
the flames and the water scarce, the fire could not 4
be arrested until it had swept over the extent des- (
cribed. It is a very serious calamity to the thriv- <
ing and growing town of Tuskegee, but we trust <
that that handsome town will soon recover from it ]
and be improved in appearance by the disaster.— *

“Mr. Stephens next adverted again to the charge
of squatter sovereignty. He showed conclusively
that what was understood by the term in 1848, was
the power of intruders upon the territory without
law, in an unorganized slate, to set up, independent
ly of' the laics, a government for themselves ; that
the opposition to Gen. Cass was on the supposition
that this was the meaning of his Nicholson letter,
but that Gen. Cass had repeatedly, eince that time,
declared that he had been misunderstood, and that
his opinions as thus explained, and especially as
illustrated by his ardent support of the Kansas act,
was in accordance with what had always heretofore
been the sentiment of the South on the subject. The
only instance where squatter sovereignty had ever
received in this country the solemn sanction of law,
was in the admission of California, against which he
(Mr. S.) would have voted had he been present, but
which Millard Fillmore had sanctioned ; thus being
the only President wiio had ever given his name to
the support of squatter sovereignty.”—Correspon
dence of Constitutionalist
The above extract is from the report of a speech,
made by the Hon. A. H. Stephens iu Warrenton
ou the Bth inst.
Presuming that Mr. 8. is correctly reported by his
friend, we can but express our astonishment that
he should make such r statement before any intelli
gent audience in Georgia.
The opposition to Gen. Cass, by the Whig party
of the whole South, in 1848, on this question, was
based on the ground, that his Nicholson letter claim
ed for the Territorial Legislature, while in a territo
rial state, the right to eettle the question of slavery
—either to prohibit or establish it in the Territory.
This was the construction put upon it by the Whigs.
The Democrats denied positively and unequivocal
ly, that the letter admitted of any such construction.
| Gen. Cass, although frequently applied to pending
I the canvass, refused to settle the dispute, and was
not drawn out till 1850 in the United States Senate,
when be admitted the Whig construction was cor
rect ! Whereupon, Jeff. Davis, then Senator from
Mississippi, replied, if that had been known as the
true construction of the Nicholson letter, be could
not have received an electoral vote in the South.
Those facts are all familiar to Mr. Stephens, and
no man knows better than he does, that the political
history of that day abundantly establishes them. He
also knows it was not pretended by any party, that
Gen. Cass claimed the power for “ intruders in an
unorganised State , to set up governments for them
selves /’* The whole history of the canvass, the
speeches, letters, proceedings of political conven
tions and primary assemblages of the people, not
only disprove Mr. Stephens’ declaration, but
they conclusively establish that the Squatter Sov
ereignty of 1818, as contained in the Nicholson let
ter, and against which the Whigs warred was the
doctrine of the Kansas bill, that the Territorial
Legislature could settle the question of slavery—pro
hibit or establish it. The doctrine of Gen. Cass was
and is that the people of the territory, in a territorial
condition, have the same power over the subject es
the people of a State. This is the doctrine of Mr
Buchanan,— -the Democratic party, the Kansas bill,
and Mr. Stephens, but it is the same obnoxious
doctrine which Mr. Stephens and the Whig party
in 1818, denounced so vehemently, and upon which
| Gen. Cass was defeated.
To establish (he correctness of our position, and
to show how utterly fallacious that of Mr. Stkphbns
is. we submit a few extracts from the documents
published in 1848.
On the 30th August, 1848, Mr. Stephens ad
dressed a letter to the editor of the Federal Union ,
from which we make the following extract:
When the treaty is fully complied with, these pro
vinces (Mexican) will constitute a public domain, ac
quired by the common valor, and blood, and treasure
of all. And in the government of them the rights
of the South should be looked to, guarded and
protected as well as the North, by all proper and ne
cessary laws. Until they are admitted into the
Union as States, the Government of them must de
volve upon Congress or such Territorial Legislature
as may oe created or authorized by Congress. And
auy legfrlntion by Congress or by the Territorial
Legislatures which would exclude slavery, would
be in direct violation of the rights of the Southern
people, to an equal participation in them, and in
open derogation of that equality between the States
of the South and North which should never be sur
rendered by the South. And I hold also, that auy
legislation by Congress or by the Territorial Legis
latures which does noPseeureand protect the rights of
the South ns fully and completely in the enjoyment of
their property in slaves as it does the rights of the
people of the North in the enjoyment of their
property in these Territories, is manifestly unjust,
in violation of the rights of the South, and a surren
der of that equality between the different members
of this confederacy which shall never be made by
iny sanction.
Here Mr. Stephens makes war upon General
Cass’ doctrine, and totally repudiates the position
of Gen. Cass in his Nichols c u letter, that the territo
rial Legislatures have any power whatever over the
question, except to protect The Cass doctrine is
the doctrine of the Kansas bill. This doctrine Mr.
Stephens denounced in 1848, and advocates it in
1850. “Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel,” espe
cially among politicians.
The doctrine of the South has always been, and it
is the true doctrine, that the question of slavery
could only be settled by the convention that framed
tbe State constitution—that was the doctrine (f the
Utah and New Mexico bills, and also that of
Mr. Stephens and the Whig party of the South
iu 1848. Perhaps he can explain why it is that he
! is now the advocate of a principle which he then
j denounced as “ manifestly unjust, in violation of
! the rights of the South , and a surrender of equality
between the different members of the confederacy .”
Mr. Stephens’ constituents in Oglethorpe coun
ty, in the meeting that appointed delegates to the
convention that nominated him for Congress in
1848, adopted the following resolutions :
Resolved , That all territory acquired by the com
mon blood and treasure of the people of this Union
is the common property of the people, and that
neither Congress nor the territorial Legislatures have
any right to prohibit the introduction of slaves into
such territory. And that the position of Gen. Cass
upon this subject deserves and should reoeive the
uncompromising opposition of every true hearted
American.
The Convention that nominated him, met in
Eatonton, and adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved , That we hold the territories of the Uni
ted States to be the common property of all—that
the citizens of each State have a right to remove
there with their property of whatever kind, and that
neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature hove
any right to prohibit the introduction there of any
kind of property whatever, w T hich may be recog
nised ns such by tne laws of the State from which
said inhabitants mav remove, and by the Constitu
tion of the United States, and that the Supreme
Court of the United States have no power to adju
dicate such right.
Resolved, That as the Northern Democrats have
discarded every other issue between the two politi
cal parties, ana have placed the Presidential elec
tion solely upon the “freesoil issue,” we will meet
them upon it. And we now appeal to every slave
holder to unite with us to defeat the elevation of
those aspirants who would again beguile us with the
pledge that they are “Northern men with Southern
principles.”
Mr. Stephens accepted the nomination with the
accompanying resolutions, and of course endorsed
the platform of the Convention. These resolutions
of his own constituents leave no doubt as to the
true character of the Squatter Sovereignty of 1848,
as contained in Cass' Nicholson letter. But we
have yet other evidence. Mr. Toombs was also
nominated for Congress in 1848, and in his letter of
acceptance be very clearly defines what Gen. Cass’
doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty was. In that let
ter he said:
j These acquisitions have been made by the com
mon blood and treasure of the whole Union. The
slave holding State demand an equal participation
in their enjoyment, that their citizens snail have the
right to emigrate to them with their slaves, and be
protected by law m their enjoyment. The nou-elave
holding States resist this demand and insist upon ex
cluding slavery from them. This determination to
exclude us has been manifested and avowed in the
most unequivocal and insulting manner. Mr. Van
Buren proposes to exclude us bv incorporating
in the Dill establishing territorial government an
expit-ss opinion againet slavery, more commonly
called the Wilmot Proviso. General Cass, two
; years ago, favored the same policy; more re
cently, he proposes to exclude us. by leaving
all legislation upon the subject of slavery to the ter
ritorial legislatures; he declares they will exclude
us, and gives clear and satisfactory reasons for that
opinion. To us there is not one particle of differ
ence between the position of Mr. Van Buren and
Gen. Cass. We resist the efforts to exclude us from
these territories. The mode of exclusion is wholly
indifferent to us. Yet wo have Southern men who
denounce Van Buren and support Cass. The sup
porters of Cass seek to delude us with false issues;
j they labor to make the question turn on the Wilmot
! provise in terms, while their own candidate accom
plishes and seeks to accomplish the same object in a
j different yet equally effectual manner.
Again, on the 17th September, Mr. Toombs re
plied to an address of the Democratic Committee to
the people of the District, in which he said:
“ I will at once proceed with good temper, and I
trust with candor and fairness, to examine briefly
some of the considerations and facts submitted by
the committee under the head of “ The Slavery
Question*' —which they appropriately term “ the
great question of the day. The committee ex
press the opinion that *' the Southern Democracy
are satisfied to trust their safety in the keeping of
General Case,” and I much fear that such is the
fact, with reference to the greater number of them ;
but I must be allowed to say, and I think I can con
clusively show, that such trust is not well placed.
The reason given by the committee in this connec
tion is, that “ the Whigs of the North, and the Abo
litionists who so uniformly act with them in political
matters, reject him because he is opposed to their
scheme of excluding us from the Territories of
the United States, and thus depriving the citi
zens of half the Union of their right of entering the
common domain and enjoying, as a common inheri
tage, all its advantages on an equality with other*/’
Without troubling myself to show that this charge
of a “unitormity of action between the Whigs and
Abolitionists,*' is wholly unsupported by the history
of parties, it is true that one of the objections to
Gen. Cass of a large portion there who call them
selves “Freesoii ’ men in the North, whether Whig*,
Democrats, or Abolitionists, is that he opposes
“their scheme o f excluding us from the Territories
of the United States.'’ His opposition to their
scheme is very good as far as it goes, but we are
opposed to all schemes of excluding us. And our
objection upon this question to Gen. Ca*s. is that he
has “a scheme" of his own for that purpose squalls
fatal to our right of enjoying our slave property iu
the Territories. It cannot fail to attract the atten
tion of the people, that the committees have at
least omitted to advert to the scheme of Gen. Cas3.
He proposes to refer these rights of ours to the in
habitants of the conquered provinces in their Ter
ritorial Legislatures, and assures us himself, and
quotes and adopts the arguments of two of his dis
tinguisbed friends (R. J. Walker and James Bu
chanan,) to prove that “his scheme" will effectu
ally and certainly exclude us from the Territories.
I am curious to know the reasons for the preference
which the committee give to Gen. Cass' mode of
exclusion to the Wilmot Proviso. I understand the
people whom they address, every man of them, to
be opposed, and equally opposed, to every ‘scheme/
by the operation of which they are to lie excluded
from the Territories. Allow me tot call the atten
tion of the committee to Gen. Cass' Nicholson letter.
Perhaps they may be able to point out some advan
tages m his ‘scheme’ of excluding us, which would
make it more palatable to us than the Wilmot Pro
viso. I say in all candor, I would as soon the thing
was done in the one way as the other. The com
mittee devote a very small portion of their elabo
rate address to an examinatiod of Gen. Cass’ opin
ions upon this great question ot the day.’ The
reason is too obvious for comment."
This will suffice for the present. We might add
much other evidence equally conclusive, but we
have already produced sufficient to show that the
facts flatly contradict the declaration of Mr. Ste
phen*.
The admission of California, Mr. S. regards the only
instance in which Squatter Sovereignty ever receiv
ed the sanction of law. Nothing can more conclusive
ly show to what desperation he is driven to sustaiu
himself before the country. The absurdity of this
position of Mr. S. is conclusively demonstrated when
the fact is stated that California was under a mili
tary Governor, appointed by the President, who is
sued a proclamation, requiring the people to meet
at stated places and elect members to a convention
to form a State Constitution, preparatory to admis
sion into the Union. The election was regularly
held by persons authorized to vote under the procla
mation, the convention met and adopted a Constitu
tution, and California having a sufficient popula
tion, (larger, we believe, than any new State ever
admitted,) was admitted into the Union. The ques
tion ofislavery was, therefore, settled by the only
body having power over the subject, viz: the Con
vention that framed the State Constitution. Aud
this, Mr. STBPHB.se, in 185*!, calls Squatter Sove
reignty.
Disunion.
The position assumed by the Buchanan party,
that in the event of Fremont’s election, they will
destroy the Union, seems to demand more attention
than conservative men are disposed to give it.—
Such threats are too generally regarded as the insane
and empty ravings of a few disappointed politicians,
but it should be considered, that a few may easily
destroy what required many hands and much wis
dom and labor to build up ; that the spirit which
animates the Buchanan leaders is much the same
as that which prompted the ancient incendiary to
bum the Ephesian temple—notoriety and renown
are alike to them. By a sudden aud bold stroke
they may accomplish that, which the people, had
they the chance to speak, would be very far from
sanctioning. There are signs that such a stroke is
in contemplation, their orators openly avow it und
able and skillfully written articles fill the columns
of their journals, cunningly devised to familiarize
the minds of their readers to the contemplation of
the catastrophe.
We have for years been convinced that the
Union between the North and South must, one day
cease, unless an utter revolution in men’s senti
ments and conduct can be brought about. In one
respect wc agree agree with the Democrats, and
admit that disunion must come sooner or later,
but we place tho event upon quite a different con
tingency. They place it upon the election of Fre
mont —we on the continuance of slavery agitation.
That the election of Fremont must inevitably lead
to disunion, if he fulfill all the demands which his
party will, without doubt, make upon him, must be
admitted, yet prudence aud sound discretion would
require that we await the perpetration of some overt
act which would justify disunion; of itself the
election of him or any other man, to any of
fice, is not cause sufficient for adopting im
mediately and without preparation, that last
resort. We, repeat this continual and irritating agi
tation of the slavery question must cease, or the
Union cannot exist.
If it were necessary, to investigate who are re
sponsible for arousing this excitement at this time,
it would be easy to show that the political tricksters,
intriguers and demagogues of the Democratic purty
are alone culpable. Such an enquiry is not neces
sary in this article—it is sufficient that the agitation
exists, and that there are parties in both sections
who are doing their utmost to add fuel to the fire,
and whose panacea for ail the ills that they both
complain of, and into which they themselves have
plunged the country, is the dissolution of the Union.
Fremont, with his platform and sixteen-starred ban
ner, utterly ignoring the rights of half the country,
no sane man expects will quiet the commotion. As
for Mr. Buchanan, his conservatism on all questions
is more than doubtful, and those who knew him
best have pronounced him “ unreliable he is not
the mau, and is not backed by the party for the cri
sis. Time and again have that party falsified their
declarations against agitation; time after time have
they roused it to new fury by their measures and
their policy, suggested by the worst possible mo
tives.
What do the honest and plain people of the coun
try (not the politicians) desire—not the dissolution of
the Union—far from it. All they ask is to be per
mitted to “sit down under their own vine and fig
tree,” in the undisturbed and quiet possession of
their property and rights. When these just and
moderate cannot be gratified—when they
find there is no longer hope of quiet, but in the very
doubtful remedy of disunion, then will such men
prepare themselves to adopt it with fur more
of steadiness, earnestness and effect, than those who
are so blatant iu advocacy of immediate adop
tion.
C»ov. 11. V. Johnson’** Opinion of the Union.
Tins gentleman does not seem to be up to the
music of disunion which bi 3 party has*, een for some
time marching to They have been presenting to
us fascinating pictures of the blessings to be enjoyed
by the South, and the additional safety to our homes
aud institutions in the event of dissolution. He af
firms that, “under a fair and strict construction of
the Constitution the rights of Georgia and every
other State would be'thirtv one times more safe in
the Union than out of it, aud that safety would be
strengthened by every addition of a new State.”
Governor Johnson must hurry up, or the new Re
cruits of his party will leave him far in the rear. He
even says that the threat* of disunion are made be
cause those who threaten it wish to preserve the
Union!
Governor Johnson even has the boldness to
praise the Union ? Does he not know that it is
accounted treason to the South to eay any thing in
its favor ? He concludes his letter to the Philadel
phia North American as follows :
“My countrymen know what our freedom cost ;
they know, by its past achievements, the value of a
Union founded upon the Constitution ; they know
the happiness ana prosperity which it has conferred
at home, and its power aud respectability in the
eyes of all nations; they know that the hopes of
liberty, throughout the world, are ganiered up in its
destiny. If those things full to make them pause
upon tne precipice ere the fatal step be taken, the
warnings of an angel would be unavailing.”
In another point the Governor seems to have lost
the cue that guides his party here. Their doctrine
here, as expounded by their speakers, is to permit
the Legislatures of the Territories to do with slave
ry in the Territories as they please. The Governor,
however, says :
“She (the South) is willing to abide the decision
of the bona fide settlers in Kansas, for or against
slavery, when they shall form their State Constitu
tion and ask for admission into the Union.”
That is nound doctrine, but not the doctrine of the
Kansas bill, as the Governor, in another portion of
his letter asserts it to be. The doctrine of that bill
is the odious one of Squatter Sovereignty, which
the greatest statesman of the Democratic party
once denounced as “worse than the Wilmot provi
so,'' and will effectually defeat the benevolent
wishes of the Governor to “keep open the exodus,
by which in the course of time they {the slaves)
may find a home and a clime suitable to their na
tures, and a political condition adapted to their so
cial and mo'-al development." We have thought
that both in points of climate and of political condi
tion, Georgia was better suited to them than
Kansas, but we stand corrected by Governor .John
son.
The Governor, while at ti e North, is evidently
not in favor of immediate disunion; but we fear that
when he returns and resumes his gubernatorial du
ties, and with them his former sentiments, he will
catch the contagion which has infected his party
here, and we shall probably see some high doings.
His letter is worthy of his reputation, both for abili
ty and prolixity.

Fillmore Tickets at the North. —The Balti.
more Patriot says:—The stale tale promulgated by
Democratic orators and journals that there is no
Fillmore Electoral ticket in more than three or
four Northern States is utterly void of foundation in
truth. There is now a Fillmore Electoral ticket
in every State in the Union except South Carolina
and there none exists only because Electors are
elected by the Legislature. In New Hampshire,
ast of all, a Fillmore Electoral ticket was made
on Saturday last.

The lUi.-ttouri Compromise.
The discussion which has been for some time going
on relative to the M issouri Compromise, ha 9 assumed
some singular phases. Most questions are said to
have but two sides, but this seemo to have many.
From the first it was doubt fill wb other the repeal
was a measure favorable to the North or to the
South—whether as its Northern supporters declared,
it was the “best abolition measure ever passed,’* or
a great act of justice and right to the South—wheth
er its result would be to make free States South of
the annulled line, or slave States North of it—that
question remains to be solved yet. Again, the re
peal was claimed to be a triumph for the South--so
was its establishment. Benton, in his “Thirty
years View,’’ tells us “this Compromise was the
work of the South, sustained by the united voice of
Mr. Munroe’s cabinet, the uuited voices of the
Southern Senators, and a majority of the Southern
Representatives." The Hue was made by the South,
its establishment was a Southern triumph. It was
destroyed by the South, and its destruction is claim
ed by the Democracy as a Southern triumph ! The
North were defeated upon its creation, and defeated
again upon its destruction. To explain the differen
shapes which the measure has assumed, requires the
acumen of those
•‘Who can distinguish and divide
A hair ’twixt North and North-west side.
We have heard in this canvass those statesmen
who voted for and advocated the Compromise de
nounced as having betrayed the South —false to the
interests'of their constituents. Such denunciations
only demonstrate to what lengths party violence
can carry those who make them. It is not to be
supposed that such men as Barbour of Virginia,
Simth of South Carolina, Elliott and Walker o*
Georgia, Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky, Ma
con of North Carolina, Pinkney of Maryland, and
many other good and patriotic men would wilfully
have betrayed their constituents, aud, could they
have looked into futurity they would probably have
tried some other way to allay the storm which then
raged. We think, though with much diffidence iu
the face of the opinion of so many wise and patri
otic men, that the measure was impolitic, but we
are very far from denouncing them as traitors.
There ar j other facts which should induce us to bo
disposed charitably (if there is such a thing as chari
ty iu politics) towards those who differ and have dif
fered from us as to the expediency of its enactment
or repeal. The South, for thirty years, acquiesced
in it, absolutely uuconscious of wrong, and it re
mained for a Northern Senator, a political intriguer,
to give back to the South what she had been robbed
of, but seems never to have missed. He was will
ing to yield up the great ad vantages his section is
Baid to have possessed, witeout solicitation from the
injured party, for no petition ever went from the
South for its repeal—the question was never pre
sented to the people in any form, and was never dis
cussed before them iu any canvass, llis conduct
can only be accounted for on the theory that he was
a most disinterested, eelf-sacrificing and benevolent
man, or a cunning, political intriguer.
Auother fact shows how insensible the South was
to her wrongs. When the great author of the Com
promise was a candidate for the Presidency in 1844,
he was everywhere hailed us the great con
servator aud compromiser, and with everything else,
public or private, which had happened during Mr.
Clay’s eventful!ife, this question of the Missouri
Compromise came up. The Whigs claimed it as a
merit, that he had been instrumental in settling the
difficulty which threatened the existence of the
Union—his opponents did not deny the merit—they
only denied his instrumentality.
Our object iu thus portraying the Proteau shapes
which this question has assumed, the diflerent lights
in which statesmen and the people have viewed it,
is to show how utterly unreasonable it is to demand
that everybody should be measured by one particu
lar standard of faith in respect to it, and he that ex
ceeds that standard cut shorter, while he that falls
short shall be stretched longer. Mr. Fillmore,
they tell us, falls short of the Southern standurd, be
cause he bus declared that the repeal was a “Pando
ra’s box,” &c. Now it is very difficult to see how
this opinion can be offensive to the most fastidious
person, especially as he unequivocally declares him
self opposed to the restoration. All persons, even
his enemies, believe implicitly the word ol M ill/, kd
Fillmore, and he tells us that though lie ti- ka it
was impolitic to pull down the b; rrier, he wel not
aid to build it up again. That promise ought to sat
isfy the most ultra foes of the dead Compromise.
In conclusion, it may not be improper to ask who
at the South are hostile to the Missouri Compromise
ine; the answer is easy. They arc the same party
who in 1850, resounded ita praises throughout tbe
South, demanded its extension to the Pacific, and
absolutely threatened disunion if it was not so ex
tended. This affoida a brief history of the policy
of the Southern Democracy in relation to the M is
souri Compromise line. In 1844 it was a wise pa
cification, but Mr. Clay was not entitled to the
credit of having it passed. In 1850 it was the mea
sure of all others to give quiet to the country, and
now it is the most odious act ever passed.
A Picture of' Dhuniou.
We commend to those old-fashioned Democrats,
who feel any disposition to follow their new leaders
into disunion the following extract from Gen. Jack
son’s farewell address. As new Pharaohs have
arisen in the Democratic party, who knew not Jack
son, it is well to remind old Union men, who, du
ring their lives, have fought and crushed this mon
ster of Disunion more than once, what were the last
words which one whom they were accustomed to
revere, almost to adore, addressed to his country
men :
“ What have you to gain by division and dissen-
Bention ? Delude not yourselves with the hope that
the breach once made, would be afterwards easily
repaired. If the Union i 3 once severed, the separa
tion will grow wider and wider, aud the controver
sies which are now debated and settled in the halls
of legislation, will be tried in the field of battle, aud
determined by the sword. Neither should you de
ceive yourself with the hope that the first line of
separation would be the permanent one. * * *
Local interests would still be found there, and un
chastened ambition. And if the recollection of com
mon danger, in which the people' of those United
States have stood side by side against the common
foe—the memory of victories won by their united
valor—the prosperity and happiness they enjoyed
uuder the present Constitution ; if all these recollec
tions and proofs of common interest are not strong
enough to bind us together as one people, what tie
will hold united the new divisions of empire when
these bonds have been broken and this Union dis
solved ! The first line of separation would not last
long ; new fragments would be torn off-—new lead
ers would spring up, and this great and glorious Re
public would soon be broken into a multitude of pet
ty States, armed for mutual aggression—loaded with
taxes to pay armies aud leaders—seeking aid against
each other from foreign powers—insulted and tram
pled upon by the nations of Europe—until, harrass
ed with conflicts and humbled and debased in spirit,
they would be willing to submit to the dominion ot
any military adventurer, and to surrender their lib
erty for the sake of repose.”
A Kanno. Agent.
J. W. White who lias been figuring in Georgia
for some months as a Kansas Emigrant Agent, has
at last acquired an unenviable notoriety. Here [is
the evidence:
Ringgold, Sept. 27, 1856.
I have, this day started upon the Ra-lroad for
Kansas, thirty-five persons, consisting of men, wom
en and children, anu have, since Monday last., start -
ed about 40 extra of the 25, to-day, making in all
about 75. They were a portion of the Kansas Emi
grants, who had been induced by J. W. White, to
leave their homes, aud by whom they were left iu this
place in a destitute condition, aud who have been
supported aud helped off by the cit zens of this,
aud some others of the Cherokee counties.
L. Dixon, Agent.
Gordon*County, Ga., Sept. 29, 1856.
We the undersigned citizens of Gordon County,
Ga., being satisfied that J. W. White, with the avow
ed purpose of aiding our cause in Kansas has raised
a large amount of money, which he has not honestly
appropriated, warn the people of Georgia and of
the South against him, and give it as our opinion
that he is unworthy of southern confidence or South
ern countenance.
This card was signed by It. W. Cain, W. W. Wall,
R. B. Young, J. P. Halford, II C. Carter, and forty
one other citizens of Gordon County.
To Wiiat is the South Drifting? —ln Ken
tucky, recent development* have been made, says
the New Orleans Creole, which tend to show the
tendency of the Democracy of lie South deeply
tainted with hostility to her rights and institutions.
Mr. Breckinridge has declared ‘die did not be yto
any party which desired the extension of sla\ - y.”
Gov. Wickliffe, of Louisiana, pledges the Demorra
cy of this State to the same sentimen'd, granting to
the most radical Fieeaoil Fremonters all they ask.
They cry freedom for Kansas; says Gov. WieklilFe,
we do not desire slavery there.
But there is a deeper depth for the leaders of the
Democracy to go. Mr. Hise, one of the Democrat
ic electors for the State of Kentucky, has been
proved to have advocated, in 1852
“The propriety of calling a convention, and slated
that his great solicitude was to amend the Consti
tution so as to set the slaves free. That he be
lieved, in proportion to the number of free negroes,
they were as respectable as the whites, and that they
would be as respectable if they were all free. He
further stated that, if the negroes were freed, in less
than fifty years he believed v. T e would all be without
distinction of color, and he wished to God it was the
case.”
These are the men who lead the Democracy at the
South to-day. Will the masses follow them ?
Orphan Assyluin.
The children in the Augusta Orphan Asylum, the
residence of the late Mr. Tuttle, visited the grave
of their kind friend and benefactor, yesterday after
noon, to deck and adorn his tomb with flowers. The
sight was truly a pleasant one to see 21 of the poor
unfortunate ones walking along with a nice boquet
and mug. provided by Mr. Blodget, senr., one
the managers for the occasion. Before they return
ed home they were addressed in a few very appro
priate remarks from Mr. T.W. Miller, informing
them of the liberal bequest of their donor, which we
hope will be indelibly impressed on their young and
tender minds.
Elections. —ln the States which held their elec
tions last Monday, the majorities last year were as
follows: Connecticut, Amei-icanmajority 788: Flori
da, Democratic majority 1,059.
On the 14th, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania
have State elections. Last year at the State elec
tions, in Ohio the Republicans had a majority of
15,870 over the Democrats ; in Pennsylvania, the
Democratic majority over the Republicans was
11,536, overall parties 4,509. Indiana voted for
Pierce by some 5,000 majority.
The election in Baltimore was for Mayor and
members of Council only. The city has always
been a stronghold of Democracy in Maryland unti
two years since (1854,) when the Americans elected
their Mayor by 2,744. Last year (1855) the Demo
crats again were in the ascendency, and carried the
city by 1,036.
Hon. Theo. Frelinghufsen. The Newark (N.
J.) Eagle of the 27th of September, says: “Mr.
Frelinghuyses has, within a few days past, un
equivocally declared *his intention to vote for
Millard Fillmore for the Presidency.”

Fusion.
The American party seems to have got between
twofires. At the North the Fremonters are charg
ing them with fusing with the Democracy to beat
Fremont ; at the South, they are accused with
uniting with FreesoPers to elect him. Now, we
opine that the truth is as usual between the two—
that is, that both accusations are false. Great com
motion is made here, about the fusion in Pennsyl
vania in the local election of Canal Commissioner.
Now, the fact is, the union of the forces in opposi
tion to the Democratic nominations in that State
was made in March hat, long before the nomination
of Fremont or Buchanan, and neither Fillmore
nor his party in the United States is accountable for it*
The local candidates there are probably glad to get
votes, no matter where they come from, just as they
are here. That there is no intention of fusing in
the Presidential election is plain. It is true, propo
sitions to that effect have been made by the Fre
mouters, but have been rejected by the Americans.
In regard to the fusion between Americans and
Democrats iu Connecticut, which resulted greatly
to the benetit of the Democratic, party, thero is no
word of complaint—-no, that’s all right! In that
case the Democratic ox was not gored!
Fusion or no fusion, we respectfully ask how can
Mr. Fillmore or his party throughout the United
States be held accountable for the arrangements that
were made in Pennsylvania and Connecticut l
First prove that he or we were accomplice*, and
then condemn.
We are rather of opinion that the Democracy
ought to be the last people to raise a cry about fu
sion. It has been the order of the day with them
‘‘from the word go.” They fused with Free-soil
ism, (or as it was gingerly called, “Free-Soilish De
mocracy”) in the Convention which nominated Bu
chanan—they sat cheek by jowl with them there—
they are fusing with them iu his support, and if he
is elected, will fuse with them iu the division of the
spoils.
We suppose it will not be denied that an im
portaut portion of the Democratic party were afflict
ed with the “dry rot”—that is, were “iree-soilish” —
if it should be, we desire to refresh tie memories of
those who make the denial, by re-printing the fol
lowing resolution :
“Resolved, That while the Democracy of this
State will faithfully adhere to all the compromises
of the Constitution, and maintain all the reserved
rights of the States, they deem this an appropriate
occ.isiou to dt'cla re and repent their fixed host ility
to the extension of slavery intofree territory .'*
Now, were it not for the word “ Democracy,”
one who knew no better might suppose that
this resolution was a part of the platform of Fre
mont’s party, not so, although expressing exactly
the principle upon which Fremont is now running,
it is a resolution passed by a large majority of the
Democratic party in New York with whom the
Southern wing of the party is now fused, and who
are now zculously engaged iu the endeavor to elect
Buchanan and Breckinridge, which latter st eins
to understand the principles of his party exceeding
ly well, for he says “ he belongs to uoparty who are
in favor of the extension of slavery.”
We have no right to doubt that the holy horror of
fusions expressed by the Democratic party is all
real! Not for the world, iu thei present high con
ditioa of immaculate purity, would they unite with
any body differing from them in the slightest par
ticular, and perhaps if one of their candidates should
receive the vote of a persoii calling himself a Whig
or American, or any other but a Simon Pure, bap
tized iu the Democratic faith, he would be by no
means thunkful, and would, if possible, have it ta.
ken out of the ballot-box and contemptuously thrown
away, perhaps ! But if they would descend from
their stilts, and condescend to fight fusion with fu
sion, away might be found, without any great sac
rifice of principle by either party, to put the whole
Free Soil clan to utter and irremideable flight. Cun
not some of the long heads of the party study out
such a plan ?
Will uot Support Squatter Sovereignty#
“We are pleased to learn, says the Memphis
Eagle, that the lion. B. N. Kin yon, a leading and
influential Old Line Democrat, of Tishemingo coun.
ty, Mississippi, has come out for Fii.lmokk, and
against Buchanan, on account of the latter's odi
j ous doctrine of ‘Squatter Sovereignty.* Judge
! Kin yon never belonged to the American order or
parly. lie was a Union Democrat in 1851, and
never bent the knee of the foul Baal of secession.
Our informant, who is one of the. most intelligent
and respectable gentlemen in NorLh Mississippi,
also gives it as his firm conviction that Tishomingo
would, if the election were to come oil' to-morrow,
show again of 300for Fillmore over Fontaine’s
vote of last year. Wlmt the gain will be in Novem
bar, no one can compute. The men of Tishomingo
are rapidly becoming alive to the fact that the wel
fare of the Union and the South depends upon the
election of Fillmore.”
Judge Kinyon, like thousands of other Democrats
in the South, is governed by principle—he regards
the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty a most fatal
and disastrous measure lor the South to adopt, and
like a devoted and sincere patriot who prefers his
country to his party, he makes war upon the princi
ple and its advocates. He not only refuses to vote
for Buchanan, who advocates the odious doctrine,
but he rally* under the banner of Fillmore, who
takes high and bold ground against this fatal heresy.
People of the South, such examples of patriotism
should not be lost on you. Judge K. is one of the
people—ho is not one of the intriguing demagogues
RDd political tricksters of the day, who, in their
eager pursuit after the spoils, are ready to sacri
fice the rights of the South at the shrine of party.
Fusion. —The New York Herald 4* Tribune
both waxes wrathy at a fusion which took place in
Connecticut between the Fillmore and Buchan
an men, by which the Bepublican candidates for
Mayor of the ctiy of Bridgeport and their candidates
in other towns were beaten. Bennet charges that
the same fusion is in contemplation in New York,
and vents his spleen in this wise :
What a curious, equivocal, anomalous and ridi
culous position is this of Mr. Fillmore. In Virginia
the nigger driving, nullification Democracy raise
the cry of treason against Mr. Botts for daring to
speak in Richmond in behalf of Fillmore; and by
the Universal Democracy, all over the South, Mr.
Fillmore is regarded as an interloper and a wolf in
sheep.s clothing, and treated accifrdingly. In the
North, on the other hand, the Democracy are billing
and cooing with the Know Nothings, and using
their candidate as a stool pigeon—a mere stool
pegion, and nothing more. If you cannot, dear Mr.
Fillmore, resign in favor of Mr. Buchanan, hold you*
ground, and give us a chance to beat Fremont.
And this is the position which dear Mr. Fillmore
consents to occupy in the North. ;*uch are ‘,lhe
bonds of Union” spoken of by Gov. Floyd, between
Democratic ami Know Nothing leaders, whereby
the Know Nothings and are to help the Democrats,
nd the Democrats are to cheat the Know Nothings
and their candidate.
They Begin to Smell Brimstone.—A promi
nent Democrat of I ndiana, high in office, writes to
his friend in this city that “Indiana has gone to
h—land adds that Senator Bright who is now in
Illinois, informs him that that State is in the same
predicament.
Now both these States were claimed (says the
American Organ,) by the Union, the other day, as
sure for Buchanan, yet, we opine that Lieut. Gov.
Willard and Senator Bright, being both on the
ground, will be regarded as more reliable witnesses
than the editor of the Union, whose sphere of vision
is limited by the width of Pennsylvania Avenue.
If, then, the sham Democracy cannot carry In
diana and Illinois, when both Fillmore and Fremoni
have electoral tickets in the field, what Northern
State can they carry ? If they smell brimstone nl
ready in their strongholds in the North West, how
will they farcin New York, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey l
Disbanding of the Cuban Junta.—The New -
York Sun announces the disbanding of the Cuban
Junta, originally formed in that city for the purpose
of redeeming Cuba from Spanish rule. At one tim»
the Junta had prepared a powerful expedition for
that inland, but their hopes were blasted by the pre
mature invasion of Lopez, together with the inter
position of the United Stateß authorities. The Sun
says :
“it is true that the Cuban Juuta is extinct.—
Spanish grace has blotted out this revolutionary in
stilu ion. Caspar de Betancourt, its President, has
received and accepted pardon for his rank and
thrice aggravated rebellion, llis confiscated es
states, amounting in value to hundreds of thousand*
of dollars, have be-n restored to him, and he has ta
ken passports for Paris, to enjoy there c. life of aris
tocrutic ease. The old revolutionist has succumb
and for the remainder of his days he will take hi*
walks and smoke his cigaretts on the Boulevards ol
Paris, attend the opera, mingle with the elite of
French society, and adjure all democratic associa
tions. Farewell, friend Betancourt, to us and t<.
Cuba forever lost! Kind hearted and suave in
manners thou wert, but not the stuff of which dar
ing and stern revolu ionists are made.”
Manufacture of Files.—For the last twenty \
years skilled mechanics have exercised all their in- j
genuity in trying to discover a process of manufac- j
taring files at a cheaper cost. A machine, which 1
has proved successful, has now been invented by u )
Glasgow mechanic. It is stated that, by its agency,
files can be struck in a very superior manner, with '
an advantage in labor alone of at least two hundred
per cent. A skilful file-cutter will strike by the
hand somewhere about twenty common forty inch ,
flat-bastard files in a day, while, with one of these
machines, sixty files may be struck in the same
time.
A Banter.—Tlie New Orleans Creole has faith
enough in Fillmore's election to risk something

Fillmore is elected President of the United States
Now gentlemen Democrats, if you have faith in

Mr.Brf.ckinridge an Emancipationist.—The
Alabama Journal says :—The charge has been
made for some time against Mr. J. C. Breckenridge,
that he voted for the Emancipation ticket in Ken
tucky. The charge has not, as we have seen, beer
met or contradicted. Yet it has not been stated ;
with the circumstantial details which would author
ize uh to assert it as a fact. If it is true, let those
who know it give the proof of their statement, as the
matter is of vital importance. It it is true that Mr
Breckenridge is a Kentucky Emancipationist, 01
voted for the Emancipation ticket run in that State,
he is no more fit for the support of the slaveholdin*.
States than would be Cassius M. Clay. Let the
public know on what evidence this charge if
founded.

British Association of Science by Dr. Robcoc, o
Heidelberg, an account is given of the formation o.

The metal lithium is described as possessing pecu

The exlroc of a h t"-r to the Ed'tor
though not intended for publication, will be lead
with iitereat, because of its truthful outline of men

like this the writer nor any other man, of his ca
pacity for good, should occupy the position of a
mere locker on. When the institutions of the coun
try are threatened by fanatics, zealots and political
intriguers and kuaves every patriot should rally to
her noble standard, and do battle for liberty, the
Constitution and the Union.
What will bo the result of the election io Goor
gia ! Ti.ough I have ceased to take any active part
in politics, 1 have not ceased to feel a deep interest
iu the welfare of my country, the preservation of
the Union, and the liberty of the people; and am,
therefore, not an iudifferent spectator of passing
events. The State could easily be carried for Fill,
more if his friends would make the proper efforts.
The large mass of the people prefer him to any one
else; but thousands are deceived by the constant
cry, “ho cannot be elected.” And you may rest
assured, that when the votes are counted, it will bo
uo correct evidence of the honest preference of the
people, if Fillmore bo defeated.
The name ot the Democratic party ought to be
changed. They are determined to “ rule or ruin,”
and their name ought to be some indioatiou of their
purposes. A largo portion of thorn intend to make
u strong effort to destroy the government—not If
Frcuiout is elected, but if they fail to bo “ victors,*'
ami Consequently to enjoy the “ spoils.” The eloo
tion of Fromont will be the o tangible cause, but the
large mass of the complainers would never be hoard
to murmur if they were fed from the public orib —-
Oflioe would make them as quiet as Pieroe mads
Dix and his crowd in New York. This is my hon
est opinion of them. What care they for princi
ple or any thing else. Sje how every rascal of them
hns changed his opinion on the doctrine of “ Squat
ter Sovereignty.” At various times And places In
1848. 1 charged Gen. Cass with entertaining this
doctrine, und that his Nicholson letter contained it.
And every Democratic oratr that I heard domed it
—denied that that letter contained any such doc
trine—and insisted that its true construction was,
and that it wus the correct doctrine—that the peo
ple of ateiritory had the right to decide the ques
tion of slavery for themselves when they formed m
Constitution to be admitted into the Union as «
State. Now they openly advocate what they then
condemned.
They pretend that their regard for the right of
self; 1 vernmeut is the reason for their new position.
But lv kat the facts, Kansas was organized “with
full power,” as is pretended, to legislate for herself.
A majority of the in turn era of the Legis’ature were
Southerners, and they undertook to exercise this
power, and passed such laws as they thought would
aid in making Kansas a slave State. Immediately
the abolitionists set up a howl against these laws,
and what do we see ? Stephen Douglasi repoits a
bill to repeal these laws, iu order to satisfy North
ern Frcesoiters , and a Democratic Senate, aided
by the Hon Kobt. Toombs, passed the bill, and re
pealed, so far as they could, the very laws which
tin y now tell the people that lln Kansas legislature
had a right to pose, and thus denied the right of self
government, t»r which they ho much contend,
!he people ot Kansas. If the people of the territory
of Kansas have the right laws for their gov
ernuienr, “like those of a State,” what right or pow
er has Congress to repeal them ? Yet it. is d**ue, at
least in the Senate. Kansas may exercise the right
of self-government, provided her laws are such as
please freesoilers and a Democratic Senate. If
Congress can repeal one law passed by a territorial
legislature, th y can repeal all. Suppose the laws
are unconstitutional, does this give Congress the
right to repeal them I Can Congress repeal a law
passed by the Legislature of Georgia, because it is
unconstitutional / No one will contend for such a
doctrine. The judiciary would decide its constitu
tional.tv. Why not. let the Courts decide the ques
tion in Kansas l Because the laws were obnoxious
to freesoilers. They were calculated to aid Kansas
in becoming a slave State, and the leaders of tin*
Democratic party never intended t>he should be.—
“Freedom aiwavs had charms for them,” and they
intend to prohibit slavery iu Kansas.

This gentleman, says tho Columbus Unqutr&i ,
has written another letter on the subject ofths Prssb
dentin 1 election, drawn forth by the reports that ha
was now satisfied with Mr. Fillmore and would give
him Lis support. He admits having, in privateoon
versation, acknowledged his satisfaction with Mr.
Fillmore’s position in reference to the restoration of
the Missouri Compromise, intimates that he prt'er*
him, as a man and a politician, to Mr. Buchanan,
but adheres to his only remaining reason for sup
porting the Democratic nominee, to wit: Hat Mr.
Fillmore “can't be elected !” It is strange that a
politician of Mr. Jenkins’ experience aud shrewd
ness has not observed what is now apparent to other
candid men—that Mr. Fillmore is the only candi
date who cun divert from Fremont Northern votes

Fillmore Demonstration in Pnii.AOicLrziA.
—The Philadelphia Inquirer describes in the fol

The Fillmore mass meet ing and torch light pro

mass meeting was attended by thousands, and f,r oin

' truly gratifying. Some of the buuuers and device*
attracted especial attention, while from first to last

everywhere elicited shouts of upplause.
Trie movement was eminently enthusiastic and
successful, and the marshals and their aids deserve
great credit for their spirited and efficient arrange

vs some calculated to have a more powerful effect,
bus not taken place since the commencement of the
campaign. And now lei theory be ‘‘Forward!'*—
Forward for Fillmore, the Union und Victory!
Goes for Fremont.—The Hon. *Samuel F. Vln
ton, ol Ohio, has declared for Fremont, lie say*
lie prefers Mr. Buchanan, but as that ancient fogy
has no chance of an election, he goes for Fremont,
in order to beat Millard Fillmore.
Mr. Fillmore is altogether too national and
I conservative for so inveterate a freesoiler at Mr*
Vinton. He prefers the Squatter Sovereign, free*
soilcannidate, James Buchanan, but “he has no
; chance,” and the only hope he has of beating Fill-*
I MORE is to vote for Fremont.
